18 All-Star games, but he won the MVP in '77.
Gwynn fits. Never won the MVP, though he finished top-10 in MVP voting seven times.
Ozzie fits. 15-time All-Star, but he not only never won the MVP, he only finished top-10 in voting once in his 19-year career.
The last one actually finished top-10 in MVP voting NINE times. Never won it. That has to suck.

You got it.
The recently late Al Kaline was an 18-time All-Star who finished in the top-10 in MVP voting nine times without ever winning it.

Dang
Oh Goddamnit, I had Al Kaline on brain and confused him with Alan Trammell.

LOL Well, he had the longevity. Man played for 20 years.
Question #59:
Which post-1960s (entire career) HOF pitcher pitched for over 20 years and only managed to make two All-Star games?
Hint: There were two years he missed the All-Star game but still finished top-5 in Cy Young voting.

Door #4 wins it. Bert Blyleven only made the ASG twice in a 22-year career. Craziness.

But ended career 3rd on all-time K list I think (at the time)

I knew it was high. If it's that high, that's nuts.
Question #60:
Here's a fun one. A post-1980s HOF slugger who won 2 MVP awards, and who finished top-10 in MVP voting seven other times only made the All-Star game 5 times in a career that lasted 18 years.
First guess is Frank Thomas
Yount.

Damn. That was too easy.
I couldn't believe he only made 5 ASGs.

1st base was loaded

That's true. Still, the man won multiple MVPs. I would have thought that would count for more. Just a weird time to play the position, I guess.
